The Eye of the Camera

Always the spectator, director of the movie, eye of the camera.

Everyone has their role to play, some lines to say, and Action!

They break character, destroy the fourth wall, look in my eyes.

Cut!  Please pretend that I am not here, act natural, stay calm.

To be involved is to be responsible, to influence outcomes,  no,

I cannot bear that, I cannot share that, I cannot repair that so

I want to remain the spectator, director, the eye of the camera.
